Who publishes Best Project Management Platforms, and how are the lists ranked?
Who publishes Best Project Management Platforms
Best Project Management Platforms is published by Black Badger Software Solutions, a software company based in Clearwater, Florida. Black Badger builds custom software, including custom project management systems, for companies that have outgrown the platforms they rent.
Read the lists with that in mind. A custom build by Black Badger is one of the ranked options on every list, and its entry says so. We take no commission from any vendor named here and have no reseller arrangement with any of them.
How the Best Project Management Platforms lists are ranked
Each list answers one question for one kind of buyer, and the ranking belongs to that question. A product can be first on one list and last on another, as Jira is on the software teams list and the main list.
We weigh what an option costs at the plan a company of 50 or more employees needs, which published limit that company meets first, and how well the tool fits the kind of work the list is about.
The custom route is ranked like any other option. It is in the top three on every list because we believe it belongs there for companies of this size, and it is first only on the two lists about leaving spreadsheets and replacing a platform.
Where the facts on Best Project Management Platforms come from
How each option charges, its plan names and its limits are read from each vendor's own website. Every entry shows the date they were read and links to the page. When a vendor does not publish a price or a limit, the entry says so and does not estimate one. No prices are printed on this guide. Each entry says how the option charges and lists its pros and cons.
Vendors change their pricing often. If a fact here no longer matches the vendor's page, the vendor's page is right.
How often Best Project Management Platforms is updated
Every page shows the date it was last updated. The facts are rechecked against the vendors' sites on a regular cycle, and a ranking is revisited when a price, a plan or a limit changes enough to matter.
